My Hate for Work We all deal with some sort of issue that makes our work experience negative. In my case its cooking at a restaurant where all you hear is kids screaming uncontrollably from the control point window in the grill, the fog coming from both the fryer and grill, and last, but not least the “pushing and shoving” from the grill team when we’re pulling off a thousand dollar hour. If you haven’t guessed yet, its Friendly’s “Where ice cream makes the meal”... and my hate for people. I’m just kidding, but I don’t like rude people; like if I’m nice to you why can’t you return the nice gesture? Anyways (back on track) its crazy how many sounds you hear, things you see and objects you feel within a five hour shift that actually feels like two because of working through a rush period. Children children children, I hate them. Hate is a strong word? Trust me I KNOW! I cannot fathom the loud screaming that sounds like metal to metal screeching; all because mommy won’t them get ice cream. The sad part is that I work in the grill and its sort of tucked away in the back. Imagining the intensity of the screaming? Quite horrible isn’t it? As if the loud grinding gears of their voices isn’t enough, I have the pleasure of watching them run around like its free game day at chuck e cheese or something. The only part I enjoy of them running around like maniacs is seeing the huge bright shiny smile on their faces, it makes me all like tingly inside, but then I remember we’re in a restaurant setting, have some sort respect. One thing I forgot to mention is the damn shushing. Lord have mercy the shushing! its like someone constantly blowing in your ear or when you’re driving seventy miles per hour on the highway with all the windows rolled down; the wind noise is unbearable and you just can’t seem to hear anything else. Much like when Andy works “kids night” (Wednesday, when kids eat for $1.99). Which makes no sense because theres no profit gain from a stupid promotion where kids receive a meal, drink, and ice cream for all of two dollars. But thankfully I don’t work Wednesdays anymore because of the way my classes are this semester. I swear I’m a freaking mastermind for making my agenda the way it is! I just find it weird that I dislike kids so much because I want to pursue a nursing a career and specialize in neonatal which deals with new born babies. So I’ll be going from one loud screaming scene to another, just think of all the crying babies. Just a more professional setting from where I am now. However, as negative as it sounds I feel like it keeps me sane in a way, or I’ve just adapted to it because I GO CRAZY sitting in silence. So I thank those little reckless runts for that. Aside from the pain in my ears, my eyes and sense of smell take a toll as well. I consider Working in the grill fun, except when I have to deal with the smokey fryers, much like that of a chimney during the winter. It causes an irritable dryness in my eyes, especially when I have my contacts in. its like my contact lenses are trying to shimmy their way out of my pupil. And working over the grill isn’t much better either; my eyes literally welt from all the steam from the juicy greasy burgers that have blood seeping out from being cooked. Although the blood isn’t noticeable once we dust off charbroil onto the burger as if its snowstorm Alfred from 2011; Also the melted cheese of course! The gooey melted bubbly lava like texture makes it so appetizing and pleasing to just look at (aside from the beating my eyes took during the preparation). In addition, to my vision taking a toll, my body did as well. The kitchen is quite crowded when there are 5 of us back there. Just imagine the tightness of the space, and me being the smallest out of the crew. You’re thinking its working out in my favor, but its not. In fact I feel like a volleyball being knocked back and forth on a humid summer day at a beach with sparkling sand and crystal clear salt water. The constant pushing and unintentional bumping reminds me of new born piggies fighting to drink milk from the mother pig. But its all in good nature in order to give customers the best service possible, even at the extent of my own well being. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if one day I come out with a broken bone at the end of a shift (yes its alright to take a second and laugh) because it feels as if though I’m a stunt double for James bond at an explosion scene where its raining rocks like a meteor shower before the ice age way back when! Consequently, Children seriously irk me even though I’m a grill cook and not even remotely close to them, But I have to remember I work at “Friendly’s” so its sort of okay for kids to run and act wild as if they had just finished drinking five red bulls. Although I wish they were more disciplined because my ears are precious to me. On the other hand, having steam that feels like a power plant constantly stabbing every pore of your eye isn’t that delightful either, and clearly the ventilation doesn’t work.Additionally, You would think I’d call DCF for the amount of abuse I take at “Friendly’s”, but no, its my job and I willingly signed up for ear pains, practical blindness, and bruising. As if it isn’t obvious, I think I made it clear that I hate hate my job at “Friendly’s”.…...

Descriptive Essay Rough draft
It’s approximately four o’ clock in morning and I’m in the locker room changing my clothes. My colorless hands are chilly, my feet are weary and my body feels like is going to give up and collapse after working eight hours in a refrigerated warehouse. Even though my body just wants to give way, I manage to drag my feet all the way to my vehicle, and start rushing home which is the only thing I want to do after a long night of work.
The best part of driving home at this hour of the day is that I have an open road almost all to myself. The streets are nearly empty, the drive nice and smooth and the best part is that there are no police so you can run through these streets like there’s no tomorrow. Also there are no rays of sunshine burning my eyes like in the day, the weather is nice and cool that I don’t even need to turn on my a/c which has been throwing nothing but burning air. As I get closer to home I could only think about going straight to comfy bed; however, it is not going to happen because this is the only free time during the day that I have time to study.
As I am getting to the door my eyes feel unfocused and my eyelids are feeling heavy. Now that I made it to the white tarnished door, I am shuffling through my key chain to find the correct key. The darkness of the night makes it difficult to find the right one; thus, I lift my arm up toward the sky to see if...

Air Brakes
What You’ll Learn
After reading this chapter you will be able to: identify the components of an air brake system explain how an S-cam foundation brake works describe what happens when one or more air brake system components fail explain how trailer brakes are applied
Why Air Brakes?
Air brakes are used on heavy vehicles for a number of reasons: • Air brake systems use a much greater force to apply the brakes than hydraulic braking systems do. This greater force is needed to cope with the heavy loads of commercial vehicles. Air brake systems are more tolerant to small leaks. The smallest leak in a hydraulic system could result in brake failure. An air brake system includes a compressor to generate more compressed air as needed. Air brakes are used on heavy vehicles because they have proven they are capable of stopping these vehicles safely.

Hate Crimes
The word hate is described as having a strong distaste for something or someone. It is a very harsh word that is loosely thrown around in conversation without thinking of the negativity that word can bring. To some individuals who feel they have to act out their hate end up committing hate crimes or a criminal act against the very thing they hate. According to the UCR (Uniform Crime Report) from the FBI databases in 2008 there were 7,783 hate crimes reported. Of the reported crimes religious, racism, and sexualism are a few that cause so many communities to be divided against each other.
Religious discrimination is defined as treating a person or a group differently because of what they do or don’t believe. Freedom of religion is an individual’s constitutional right. We should be free to express our religion without feeling we will be prosecuted for doing so. Our country is so culturally diverse and every individual culture has embraced a specific religious practice that speaks to them and their family. Our different religious practices range from Jewish, Muslim, Buddhism and Christianity beliefs. Now there are some that believe that their religious practices are superior to others and that can cause conflicts between cultures. But really people are afraid of what they don’t understand and to those particular people they seem to commit harsh crimes against individuals who are embracing their......

...by ABC News, the team discovered that the loss of productivity incurred when employees attempt to work despite health problems. With all of the employment laws protecting the employee and employer, one would be accurate in cases of obesity in the workplace. In the case EEOC v. Watkins Motor Lines, Inc., the employer was seeking justification in the termination of one of their drivers, Stephen Grindle. Watkins Motor Lines is a trucking company that requires its employees to have skills and abilities such as climbing, kneeling, bending, stooping, balancing, reaching and repeated heavy lifting. When hired, Stephen weighed approximately 340 to 450 pounds. Stephen was considered to be an obese individual according to Americans standards.
In the fall of 1995, Stephen suffered a knee injury. Stephen, not healing properly, returned to work and to take a six-month leave. While the leave was approved, Stephen was informed that if he was not able to return to work after the six-month, he would be terminated. Stephen provided proof at the end of the leave which was not accepted by the employer. The employer provided additional information to the physician to approve. Since there was no response, the employee was sent to see the Industrial clinic physician. The clinical physician concluded that Stephen’s ability to perform would be limited. Since he was not able to return to work, Stephen was terminated.
Stephen had believed the reason why he was terminated was due to his......

...“Arbeit Macht Frei”, a Germanic phrase which translated to English means “Work will set you free”. This mendacious phrase was hung upon the atrocity-ridden concentration camp of Auschwitz. The Jewish people already being literally ripped from their homes were forced into labor camps not knowing that their fate had been unjustly sealed, even before the war began. From 1933 to 1945, six million Jewish people were erased from the face of this earth for the sake of being scapegoats. Somebody to blame, somebody to be the burden bearers of an entire nation, to give one man and his idea the power that he needed to commit such horrific acts of violence and crimes against humanity. Whole generations were lost, not because of disease or famine, but because of a sick and twisted ideology that a specific group of humans were less than the ground they walk on. Those six million people are now no more than a photo, a memory, a dream, maybe even a name on a memorial wall. The name of this event is as well-known as the people who began and participated in this systematic annihilation of a race, it is called The Holocaust.
The name in itself has a deeper meaning beyond the nine letters given to the event. The name represents how much this has truly affected the world over the past sixty years. Some would say that The Holocaust was just genocide, which has happened many times through the course of written and televised history. The name shows how significant it was after World War......

...familiar with. This person is a first at what he has done and has probably affected more Americans in ways we have not begun to appreciate. I believe this man has done great things despite the odds. Yet, he is still criticized, yelled at, called names and mistrusted. You have a right to hate the President, but make sure you have the facts straight first.
With all of this, he still wakes up each day and goes to battle for the ones who support him and more importantly for those who do not. How difficult it must be to know that just to be accepted by your fellow citizens, you must prove every detail of your existence. No other person has been put through so much scrutiny and so much debate yet he still pushes forward. Knowing his purpose is much larger than himself.
To hate someone for being a different color, race or gender is pretty much normal for this society. To deny someone the right to live, work or even worship in America is common, though some try to cover that fact up. Too many have been killed, hung, tortured and burned just because of being different or misunderstood.
For this individual to have knowledge of history in America and to have felt the hate, he still wants to push on to complete the race to make a difference. Well, that is the kind of person he is. I am sure he knew the tremendous challenge set before him and the lack of support. Still each day, little by little, he kept attacking the problem and finding solutions to......

...The history of hate crimes shows us that we as Individuals have always had differences, and with the differences came crimes against others, murders, rapes and even loitering against those we did not feel were equal to us. In Virginia, The Ku Klux Klan has just started to reemerge itself into areas where they feel their work will most likely be appreciated, with of hopes of recruiting new members who like themselves are tired of the government and their changes. Since the reelection of President Obama, Three chapters have surfaced by way of rallies, and burning crosses, these events are held randomly to show there is zero tolerance for rights given to those who the Klan members feel are less than deserving. People are angry today about gay rights, extreme racial changes within the population and of course the fact that we have elected a black president not only one term, but bought him back for a second term.
The KKK (Ku Klux Klan) are a radically driven group of individuals who channel their hatred for others that are not white in heritage. The group prides itself on its heritage within the confederacy and believes those who are not born of white decent are not entitled to the privileges of those who are. This mindset has been in existence since the early 1800”s and its meaning comes from the Scottish and Greek meaning “The Family” (Timeline of the Ku Klux Klan, 1997)where a confederate General by the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the group. With the War......

...medications are.” After doing more research, I came across more important news about the drug companies. Daniela Perdomo who works with Our Daily Meds had an interview that sparked more questions. Daniela was asked, “Are we the only develop country that doesn’t control prescription drug prices and what that meant for consumers? The answer was very interesting that states; “It means that the drug companies can charge whatever they want to, even for drugs that don’t work that well..One drug cost 400,000 a year. Some cancer drug now cost 50,000, even though on average, they give the patient just a few weeks extra to live. It’s clear that drugs aren’t worth these extreme prices, but the companies are taking advantage of patients who are desperate for a cure.” This is when I thought of the legalization of cannabis for health. Even though marijuana is always said to be a gateway drug, my goal is to get across how Americans can benefit from the drug medically. There are no deaths on marijuana and is heard to cure a lot of health problems.
I want to reach all audience that may find this beneficial to them. I want to reach all local, regional, and national audience. I know many may not agree about this campaign. I want to help those that are tired of spending so much money on medicine. I’m tired of the pharmacy charging people these extreme prices for medicine that may not work. The DEA is wrong for not legalizing cannabis for those that can benefit for it. According to the DEA,......

Introduction
My topic is hate crime, more specifically, hate crimes within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community. It relates to social change because even though it is no longer considered taboo in our country, it is not widely accepted within certain groups or communities. Many people struggle to coexist within members of this community.
A hate crime is a crime in which a crime is committed against another person due to the offender being biased against someone else. This is usually due to the person’s race, religion, creed or sexual preference. Although hate crimes in a new category of punishable crime, it has been around for a while in the United States. Many members of the LGBT community make up the majority of the crimes that are the most underreported.
Laws against Hate Crimes
Laws against hate crimes and discrimination were created because members within this community are being discriminated against daily and at alarming rates. Transgender people are fighting against discrimination at work, schools, housing and public places, to include the ability to use the appropriate restrooms. Contrary to what is seen on television, such as Orange is the New Black, within prison/jails populations, most transgendered people are not housed with the sex they identify with. In recent news, a transgendered woman, Vicky Thomas, was found hanging in her cell. Vicky had reported being harassed...

...susceptibility to infections. Nearly 4 percent of pregnant women in the United States use illicit drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and other amphetamines, and heroin. These drugs pose various risks for pregnant women and their babies. Some of these drugs can cause a baby to be born too small or too soon, or even born with withdrawal symptoms, birth defects, and behavioral issues.
People addicted to drugs or alcohol frequently experience problems at work that endanger their jobs. Substance abusers also miss work relatively frequently due to their nagging addiction and need for their substance of choice. Over a lifetime, the income lost from dropping out of school or failing to gain an advanced education can add up to literally tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars- sometimes even more in extreme cases. Not only does drug abuse affect their ability to supply an income, but the health problems for long-term addicts will also cost them significant amounts of money. These same health problems also typically cause a significant loss of work-related income. Abusers also need money to fuel their addictions. An alcoholic who drinks two cheap six-packs of beer each day spends about $9 to support his/her addiction. This same rate of consumption produces costs of roughly $36 per month and $432 per year. People addicted to cocaine or heroin can easily spend $10,000 or more per year to support their habits. Which in the end, leads the addict to spend money they inevitably......

Summary of Articles:
In Parks and Jones article (2008), it focuses mainly on the usage of the N word. It reflected on the particular word’s history. It talked about how over time the word still has power but in a different enlighten as well as meaning for some. The article (Jones& Parks, 2008), make sure to reference the different ways young people use the N word. It also goes on to remind those of the derogatory meaning of the word. The use of the N word to some means nothing while to others it means the world. The article reflects on the trial and the defense’s two main characters. Jones & Parks (2008), talked about how powerful their testimony was and how much impact they had on society while taking the stand for the defense. However, the article “nigger’ a critical race realist analysis of the N-word within hate crimes law” (Jones&Parks, 2008), has several uplifting points and is a very educational, motivational article.

...class of the rock world. Lacking absolutely nothing and having various character traits. Rocks are available in all shapes and sizes, from large to small, rough and smooth, and available in different colors and patterns, swirled brown, cloudy reds and cloudy grey. Like fingerprints, or people themselves, no two rocks are alike. Opening a door to the imagination, children play with rocks every day; weather it’s skipping stones across a pond or loading boulders into a Tonka truck. Adults smile and indulge the child, never once looking beyond the rock. Ever wonder where that rock came from, or how it got here? Did it form from molten lava in the bowels of the earth, or was it taken from a stream and worn smooth by the motion of water, did it work itself up from the center of the earth, or did it come from comet falling through the sky finding its way here from another galaxy? While most of us know how a diamond or an emerald came to be, but these plain grey stones are the most mysterious, as one can only guess where they might have wandered from. Looking at these garden rocks as the poor, or the lower class. These rocks do not sparkle, therefore most don’t give it much thought to where they came from, yet they play an important part in the world, even if it’s a simple as being a child’s toy.

...paged the nurses station, she told me she would check. An hour went by, and still, nothing.
Eventually, I began to panic and I was in tears. My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I was overwhelmed with fear. Finally, the nurse came walking in with my beautiful, healthy baby girl. I had a smile from ear to ear. And I had a huge sigh of relief, my princess was back in my arms and I never wanted to let her go again!
The first few days home were very overwhelming. Waking up with a crying, hungry baby every hour, all night long was something to get used to. All of my friends were out having fun and I was at home with a newborn baby, changing poopy diapers and pumping breast milk. I never expected having a baby to be so much work. I kept telling myself, “this will get easier, I just need to get used to it”.
Today, Adelynn is a bright, healthy nineteen month old. I am still not used to raising a child. She is doing something new every day, it is almost like having a brand new baby each morning. She is absolutely beautiful. She has long curly brown hair and big brown eyes that will make your heart melt. Her big, white smile and huge dimples are mesmerizing, and contagious, you can’t help but smile.
I would not trade being a mother for anything in the world. She has impacted my life in every positive way possible. I would never be where I am today without her. Today, I truly believe that everything happens for a reason....
